We present the Point-7 Carbon Pro SDM Extension.
Comment from the Wind Lounge team:
The Point 7 Carbon Pro SDM Extension is special in its own right, as very few manufacturers offer a premium version of their SDM Extensions. The mast extension isn’t just aesthetically pleasing—it also offers performance advantages over traditional aluminum mast extensions. The most significant factor here is the weight, which is noticeably reduced. In addition, carbon mast extensions are stiffer and integrate better into the structure of carbon masts. However, the latter is almost imperceptible to the average windsurfer. What is very solid and noticeably more comfortable in practice, though, is the high-quality roller system.
We recommend the 3.8 mm Formuline rope. It is included with the mast but should be replaced at regular intervals. You’ll, of course, be able to find it in our shop in the future.
You can find detailed technical specifications in the table below.
Light, Strong, Smart
A carbon extension needs to offer the right stiffness to match the luff curve of the rig—not just be lighter than aluminum. The Point-7 extensions are based on a very simple, indestructible system that is quick and easy to use and allows for effortless downhaul.
The new pulley and cleat systems are attached directly to the aluminum tubing, with no crossing lines. Since the pulleys are perfectly aligned with the sail pulleys, the rope can be threaded through a simple and logical loop. Thanks to the oversized rollers and the free rope from the cleat, the effort required for downhaul is reduced to an absolute minimum.
The extension tubes are made of high-strength carbon fiber and are available in lengths of 28 cm and 44 cm, with adjustment increments of 2 cm. The extensions can be used at their full heights of 28 cm or 44 cm and come with the original Marlow 3.8 mm Formuline rope.
